Relax

Relaxing under the big sky full of stars when you are far from the city lights is such a special treat. I used Holographic Silver Cosmo Swirl cardstock from Your Paper Insider to accentuate the celestial nature of our Time Out Challenge #288: May the 4th Be with You. We are looking for takeoffs on the movie series, or celestial, sky, northern lights themes, etc. This is also going into my masculine card stash...you know we never have enough of those kind of cards.

Products I used:

Sizzix - Christmas Cutouts dies (trees), Vacation Words: Block (Relax)

Waffle Flower - A2 Nested Domes die

Your Paper Insider - Holographic Silver Cosmo Swirl cardstock

Stampin' Up! - Star border punch

Blue-grey sparkle cardstock

Versamark - Watermark ink pad

Memento - Tuxedo black ink pad

First, I freehanded the mountains and made two rows of them. The back row of mountains has Versamark and Memento black ink sponged onto the edges. I also popped up the two rows of mountains on foam tape. 

At first I die cut three trees beside each other on green cardstock, not die cutting all the way to the trunks. I was trying to make a row of trees that were connected to the ground. It became problematic, so my second row is individually cut trees in a darker green.

I discovered the sparkly dark cardstock when I was searching for a dark blue for the night sky. I almost left the sky piece as is, but I decided to add stars with the holographic cardstock. The sentiment is cut from both of these cardstocks as well.

Last, I thought I would make a dome shaped card to mimic the earth's sky.
